So he’s saying he meant to say harassed not assaulted?

And yes, he had a lawyer who responded to Sloane's motion to compel his texts. He was asserting the journalist privilege but apparently decided to just cooperate with this statement.

Who is Vs lawyer? Anyone know?

Lynn Oberlander at Ballard Spahr.

Why was my post about Ballard Spahr removed? People can bash freedman and Baldoni side lawyers all day but one stray comment about a female lawyer gets reported to Jeff? Lame

I'm not the one who reported it but it was a very rude hit and run comment. Comments about Freedman are generally discussing his actions in the case.

It's totally not paid paid Lively and Reynolds shills working in concert together from some bot farm. lol

You're being saracastic but yeah, it's unlikely that tedious/detailed/substantive posts (depending on your POV) about the lawyer stuff are from bot farms.

It makes no sense to compare Blake and Justin’s public appearances. Look at the title of this thread, it’s Jason Baldoni lol. Justin is a much less known figure and typically works behind the scenes. He did not want to even play Ryle, Colleen Hoover had to convince him, and it may have even been a condition of him being able to direct and produce the film.

He’s co-owner of Wayfarer, which is very busy making movies as others have said.

Blake has always had a very public persona and she’s trying to sell her brands. She has a hair care line named after her and is the face of that brand and she is the face of her cocktail line. Of course she needs to be out and about doing things like showing up at donut shops and palling around with 60 year old wives of agencies now that Taylor and Gigi and that circle has been cut off. Unfortunately, it is all backfiring on her and every time she seems to step out it doesn’t work out because the public is largely against her.

Justin is absolutely doing the right thing by laying low and his profession calls for it anyway so don’t see the comparison or the big deal.

I'm not whining. Actually I hope he stays out there tbh. I think it makes him look like a coward compared to Lively, so, great!

You have terrible perception. Laying low has actually curried public favor to him. Lively's decision to continually attend red carpets and tv events while on the precipice of a sexual harassment/emotional distress suit has largely been a PR disaster.

Sloane and Vituscka have worked out an agreement whereby Vituscka has filed an declaration, stating, essentially, the following (as paraphrased by Sloane) that explains he got certain facts wrong in his article which he regrets, and which I believe basically absolves Sloane of liability for defamation; as a result Sloane is dropping her motion to compel against Vituscka:

"The Sloane Parties and Vituscka have reached an agreement wherein Vituscka furnished a sworn declaration stating, in relevant part, that 'Ms. Sloane never told me that Ms. Lively was sexually harassed or sexually assaulted by Justin Baldoni or anyone else.' Ex. A ¶ 5. The text messages appearing at paragraph 193 of the Wayfarer Parties’ Amended Complaint were therefore a 'mistake,' the truth of which the Wayfarer Parties never confirmed prior to filing their complaints that included Vituscka’s texts without his authorization. Id. ¶¶ 3, 6. Vituscka has also agreed, by June 23, 2025, to produce his communications to which Bryan Freedman is a party for the time period of July 2024 through January 16, 2025."

Did you happen to catch that closing zinger? Vitscka will produce seven months of his communications with Bryan Freedman involving the time in question.

Sloane letter: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.286.0.pdf
Vituscka declaration: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.286.1.pdf

Suck it, haterz.

BF’s a lawyer. The only thing he would’ve been texting Vituscka is questions about what Sloane and the other lively parties said to him. Vituscka’s also just ruined his own credibility because he told wayfarer one thing and now he’s changing his story. He may even open himself up to having the reporter privilege pierced.

We're talking about Bryan Freedman, right? Of course he leaks stuff to tabloids all the time. He has TMZ, DM, and Page Six on speed dial. And no, not just to talk about legal evidence they might be able to provide. He is very skilled at using tabloid press to his clients' benefit.

I doubt the texts between Vituscka and Freedman will yield anything legally useful, but I do assume they'll be a bunch of juicy, juicy leaks and gossip and blind quotes Freedman wanted to have placed in DM articles.

Yeah I am not sure how much damage Freedman will do to himself, per se, but he also can't really control what other people text to him. The text to Freedman from Vituscka that's copied into the Baldoni complaint appears to show Vituscka sending him a "movie" of all the texts V received from Sloane (and I don't think we've seen this movie of these texts, which could be interesting). It will also be interesting to see what kind of info Freedman was trying to get off these reporters.

This one text raises interesting questions to me because since Freedman himself chose to include the Vituscki text to Freedman in the Baldoni complaint, it would seem like Freedman could anticipate that ultimately all of his texts to/from Vituscka would be discoverable. So presumably Freedman already would have reviewed them and determined there was nothing damaging to him or the case in there before opening that door. Unless Freedman just doesn't do that kind of detail work or never thought the case would get this far. I mean, really, a close reading of Vituscka's texts (given the date info) also should have told Freedman that Sloane didn't defame Baldoni and Vituscka was referring to the allegations in the complaint (since V had been so insistent previously that Sloane never said anything to him about SH/SA, he was actually mad that she hadn't), so maybe Freedman just isn't doing that kind of detail work or having anyone else do it for him.

Some people on reddit are just beginning to start to see through Freedman, but it's going to take a while.

They just debuted Eleanor The Great (which received a 5 min standing ovation) - directed by Scarlet Johansson at Cannes. This is easily googleable.

But Wayfarer didn't make it, nor did they promote it and they will not distribute it. They put up some money and if it earns out, they'll make some money. Heath and Baldoni are executive producers, which means they were not substantively involved.

And Justin is not developing any films or prepping to direct anything. It's fair to say he is truly doing nothing right now. Wayfarer lists a few projects "in development" on their website (including the Pac-Man movie and a film adaptation of the book Errands & Espionage) but when I searched trade publications, it looks like they are stuck in turnaround (meaning development is stalled and there is no current activity).

So no, Wayfarer is really not making movies at the moment. They also recently spun off a part of their business focused on making movies/content about Baha'i. I do think Baldoni has essentially been put in timeout by Wayfarer and Freedman in Hawaii, with the belief (a good one) that if he is out of the public eye and silent, he cannot do any additional damage to the case or the company.

Yeah, wayfarer had basically nothing to do with ETG besides financing and sending a remarkably large team including Heath to Cannes, where honestly it looks like they nearly received the IEWU treatment because they took no pictures with Johansson or cast afaict and sat far away from Sony or anyone else in the theater. At least they were in the same theater!

If they actually have something in development, that would be news, but my understanding is they do not.

This is laughably obvious and sounds exactly like someone completely clueless about the film business. Yes. Movie studios finance films, greenlight projects, and hire key personnel like directors and producers to create films. That's quite literally the way the business works. The question was what films are they making, and I provided you with the answer defined by the central role a film studio plays in the production and distribution of the film. It would be the same if you asked what movies are Disney making and someone knowledgeable would list the most recently released Disney films or ones in production. You didn't ask what movies Heath and Baldoni specifically are making, implying a directorial position. And to correct another error you made, the role of an executive producer varies greatly depending on the production. They're often involved in financing, packaging and developing, securing talent, they can have creative input, and general business oversight. We have no clue what level of involvement they were in on this project to determine that.

And Justin is not developing any films or prepping to direct anything. It's fair to say he is truly doing nothing right now. Wayfarer lists a few projects "in development" on their website (including the Pac-Man movie and a film adaptation of the book Errands & Espionage) but when I searched trade publications, it looks like they are stuck in turnaround (meaning development is stalled and there is no current activity).

You seem confused and conflating different subjects as you see fit. First, you asked a question about Wayfarer and responded with the perception that Wayfarer Studios consist merely of Justin and Heath as a directorial partnership when they are the founders and have over 45 employees across 3 continents. Then you make a claim and separate the role Justin has as a director from Justin the co-founder as not developing any films when in the same paragraph you point out that Wayfarer has several projects "in development", 1, admitting you were wrong about them not "making movies" in the first place and 2, negating your argument that Wayfarer simultaneously exist as an identity for Justin and Heath, thereby admitting he is "developing films" . You can't keep your story or reasoning straight.

And as far being stuck in turnaround, again that is COMMON within the film business. It takes on average 2-5 years to complete a film from development to release. You don't seem to have any clue what you're talking about.

They also recently spun off a part of their business focused on making movies/content about Baha'i. I do think Baldoni has essentially been put in timeout by Wayfarer and Freedman in Hawaii, with the belief (a good one) that if he is out of the public eye and silent, he cannot do any additional damage to the case or the company.

And you've moved the goalpost again. A few post up you were denigrating Justin for "hiding out" in Hawaii and now you're saying it's great that he's out of the public eye. Go figure. You are the living embodiment of the plaintiff.

Perhaps just refrain from bashing lawyers entirely, most aren’t public figures.

Lynn Oberlander is very much a public figure as a lawyer. And that is the context we are discussing her. She is just as public in her area of expertise as freedman who gets bashed non stop on here. Why the double standard? She also happens to be a haughty obnoxious blow hard, but I guess it’s only ok to insult men, not women.

Ok? How has she behaved like a haughty obnoxious blow hard in this case? I don't even frankly remember whom she represents. She's incredibly tangential so it was weird that you randomly posted about her. Freedman is being blasted for his statements and actions in this case.It's not because he's a man. Lively's female attorneys have been blasted re: VanZan as well.

I'm not responding to ALL of this nonsense, but I will note:
* You are confusing multiple different posters, and attributing one's remarks to the other. Wrong.
* You say it's not clear what involvement Wayfarer had in Eleanor the Great and that maybe it was enormous! That is total fantasy, a it has been widely reported that Wayfarer just financed the movie, and the 4 Wayfarer people who produced the movie are listed as Executive Producers, not Producers, which we should all know by now means they did the least work of the real producing team. Several outlets reported that Scarlett Johannsen had never even met Baldoni. I am the PP who asked the question of what movies Wayfarer was making, and I don't include just sitting there and financing a film as "making" it. Justin Baldoni didn't "make" Eleanor the Great. He helped "make" IEWU. He "made" Clouds. He didn't sit in his house in Hawaii and spend hours "making" EtG. Please be real here and stop puffing.
* I recall it being reported months ago that Baldoni's "Pac-man" project has been put on hold. Name one real project that Baldoni is working on right now, if you can. We'll wait.

And you've moved the goalpost again. A few post up you were denigrating Justin for "hiding out" in Hawaii and now you're saying it's great that he's out of the public eye. Go figure. You are the living embodiment of the plaintiff.

I'm not responding to ALL of this nonsense, but I will note:
* You are confusing multiple different posters, and attributing one's remarks to the other. Wrong.
* You say it's not clear what involvement Wayfarer had in Eleanor the Great and that maybe it was enormous! That is total fantasy, a it has been widely reported that Wayfarer just financed the movie, and the 4 Wayfarer people who produced the movie are listed as Executive Producers, not Producers, which we should all know by now means they did the least work of the real producing team. Several outlets reported that Scarlett Johannsen had never even met Baldoni. I am the PP who asked the question of what movies Wayfarer was making, and I don't include just sitting there and financing a film as "making" it. Justin Baldoni didn't "make" Eleanor the Great. He helped "make" IEWU. He "made" Clouds. He didn't sit in his house in Hawaii and spend hours "making" EtG. Please be real here and stop puffing.
* I recall it being reported months ago that Baldoni's "Pac-man" project has been put on hold. Name one real project that Baldoni is working on right now, if you can. We'll wait.

You won't answer because you're largely clueless and kept conflating Baldoni with Wayfarer as a simultaneous entity. Wayfarer did MAKE Eleanor The Great because they are the film studio who financed it, greenlit it, hired key personnel, and had creative oversight. That is precisely what a film studio does. You didn't say who directed the film. You said what movies have Wayfarer made and were given the correct answer based on the context you provided and by the film business definition. Disney makes films. Lionsgate makes films. Paramount makes films. It's the exact same thing. In your desperation to attack Justin, you can't even make credible or sensible arguments.

Justin is a much less known figure and typically works behind the scenes. He did not want to even play Ryle, Colleen Hoover had to convince him, and it may have even been a condition of him being able to direct and produce the film.

He’s co-owner of Wayfarer, which is very busy making movies as others have said.

Blake has always had a very public persona and she’s trying to sell her brands. She has a hair care line named after her and is the face of that brand and she is the face of her cocktail line. Of course she needs to be out and about doing things like showing up at donut shops and palling around with 60 year old wives of agencies now that Taylor and Gigi and that circle has been cut off. Unfortunately, it is all backfiring on her and every time she seems to step out it doesn’t work out because the public is largely against her.

Justin is absolutely doing the right thing by laying low and his profession calls for it anyway so don’t see the comparison or the big deal.

Wayfarer is busy making movies? Which ones??? How is that pac man movie going?

They just debuted Eleanor The Great (which received a 5 min standing ovation) - directed by Scarlet Johansson at Cannes. This is easily googleable.

But Wayfarer didn't make it, nor did they promote it and they will not distribute it. They put up some money and if it earns out, they'll make some money. Heath and Baldoni are executive producers, which means they were not substantively involved.

This is laughably obvious and sounds exactly like someone completely clueless about the film business. Yes. Movie studios finance films, greenlight projects, and hire key personnel like directors and producers to create films. That's quite literally the way the business works. The question was what films are they making, and I provided you with the answer defined by the central role a film studio plays in the production and distribution of the film. It would be the same if you asked what movies are Disney making and someone knowledgeable would list the most recently released Disney films or ones in production. You didn't ask what movies Heath and Baldoni specifically are making, implying a directorial position. And to correct another error you made, the role of an executive producer varies greatly depending on the production. They're often involved in financing, packaging and developing, securing talent, they can have creative input, and general business oversight. We have no clue what level of involvement they were in on this project to determine that.

And Justin is not developing any films or prepping to direct anything. It's fair to say he is truly doing nothing right now. Wayfarer lists a few projects "in development" on their website (including the Pac-Man movie and a film adaptation of the book Errands & Espionage) but when I searched trade publications, it looks like they are stuck in turnaround (meaning development is stalled and there is no current activity).

You seem confused and conflating different subjects as you see fit. First, you asked a question about Wayfarer and responded with the perception that Wayfarer Studios consist merely of Justin and Heath as a directorial partnership when they are the founders and have over 45 employees across 3 continents. Then you make a claim and separate the role Justin has as a director from Justin the co-founder as not developing any films when in the same paragraph you point out that Wayfarer has several projects "in development", 1, admitting you were wrong about them not "making movies" in the first place and 2, negating your argument that Wayfarer simultaneously exist as an identity for Justin and Heath, thereby admitting he is "developing films" . You can't keep your story or reasoning straight.

And as far being stuck in turnaround, again that is COMMON within the film business. It takes on average 2-5 years to complete a film from development to release. You don't seem to have any clue what you're talking about.

They also recently spun off a part of their business focused on making movies/content about Baha'i. I do think Baldoni has essentially been put in timeout by Wayfarer and Freedman in Hawaii, with the belief (a good one) that if he is out of the public eye and silent, he cannot do any additional damage to the case or the company.

Name one "creative oversight" detail that Justin Baldoni got involved in on Eleanor the Great.
